“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer

with passion, excitement, and acceptance.”

(John Lennon)

Fear is among the most powerful of all emotions. And since emotions are far more powerful than thoughts, fear can overcome even the strongest parts of our intelligence. This is why intellectual arguments against this political candidate, or against that side of an issue, are rarely persuasive. Our thoughts in an argument are like classically trained boxers, studying their opponent for their opportune time to punch. Our fear, though, is like a pro wrestler, stepping into the ring and whacking its opponents with a folding chair.* Fascist dictators, guerrilla revolutionaries, and talk radio hosts alike know this truth about fear, and that is why, for them, facts are secondary. Fear is primary. If we’re not careful, the worst parts of ourselves will act the same way—toward ourselves. We can paralyze ourselves by conjuring up all the bad things that could happen, or by only remembering the bad results that did occur. It doesn’t matter that the actual facts in front of us, or behind us, paint a far more balanced picture. Fear shades all competing notions with its shadow. And that’s why you can’t defeat fear with only thoughts. They must be accompanied by another powerful emotion. Contrary to popular thought, this other competing emotion is not courage. Courage is necessary, but it cannot be primary, because it seeks to take fear head on. Courage tries to defeat fear, to overcome it. But this will not work, because A) fear is too strong and too enduring—it may lose battles but it wins the war eventually; and B) we don’t need defeat fear; we only need to manage it so as to be vitally useful when absolutely necessary. So, what is the emotion that’s stronger than fear? I think you already know it. • It is the most powerful of all emotions, but it can appear weak to those without it. • It is the most lasting of all emotions, but it is, in many ways, the slowest to develop. • It is the most courageous of all emotions, but is the scariest to put into practice. • It can seem fleeting and fickle at first, but it is the only emotion the God of Abraham actually commanded us to feel toward others.

*Thanks to Roland Barthes, and Judd Legum, for that analogy.

What is the strongest and weakest type of bond?

vedantu.com - What are the strongest to weakest bonds? - Vedantu

Hint: Covalent bonds are known to be the strongest and the bonds formed via Van der Waals forces are known to be the weakest. The ranking from strongest to weakest bonds is: Covalent bond $ > $ ionic bond $ > $ hydrogen bond $ > $ Van der Waals forces. Complete answer: The order from strongest to weakest bonds is: Covalent bond $ > $ ionic bond $ > $ hydrogen bond $ > $Van der Waals forces. Covalent bond: the interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms. The binding arises from the electrostatic attraction of their nuclei for the same electrons Ionic bond: Ionic bonds involve a cation and an anion. The bond is formed when an atom, typically a metal, loses an electron or electrons, and becomes a positive ion, or cation. One example of an ionic bond is the formation of sodium fluoride, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom. Hydrogen bond: Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction between molecules, not a covalent bond to a hydrogen atom. It results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom. Van der Waals bond: Van der Waals forces include attraction and repulsions between atoms, molecules, and surfaces, as well as other intermolecular forces. They differ from covalent and ionic bonding in that they are caused by correlations in the fluctuating polarizations of nearby particles

Note:

The weakest bonds are commonly referred to as dispersion forces. The dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles. Dispersion forces are present between any two molecules when they are almost touching.
